Dr Benoit Leclerc is a criminologist in the School of Criminology
and Criminal Justice at Griffith University, Brisbane, Australia.
He has been involved in research and clinical work with adolescent
and adult sex offenders at the Philippe-Pinel Institute of Montréal
for 7 years and received his Ph.D. from the Université of Montréal,
Canada. His research interests include crime script analysis,
situational crime prevention and sexual offending. A recent funded
project involves the study of the effectiveness of situational
crime prevention to prevent sexual offences.
Professor Richard Wortley is Director of the Jill Dando Institute
of Crime Science at University College London. He has published
widely in the areas of situational crime prevention, corrections
and sexual offending. He has recent books entitled Situational
Prison Control: Crime Prevention in Correctional Institutions
(Cambridge University Press), Situational Prevention of Child
Sexual Abuse (co-edited with Stephen Smallbone – Criminal Justice
Press), Environmental Criminology and Crime Analysis (co-edited
with Lorraine Mazerolle – Willan Publishing), and Preventing Child
Sexual Abuse (co-written with Stephen Smallbone and William
Marshall – Willan Publishing).
"Cognition and Crime greatly advances our understanding of how
criminal offenders decide whether to attempt a crime, how they
choose their targets, what encourages or discourages them from
attempting the crime, what methods they select to commit their
crimes, and how they plan, commit, complete, and escape detection
for their crime. Criminologists, crime scientists, crime prevention
practitioners, and criminal justice officials alike will find
important and useful information in this volume." – Michael Scott,
Clinical Professor of Law, University of Wisconsin
"Cornish and Clarke’s seminal The Reasoning Criminal was published
a quarter of a century ago and is still much cited. This book is
its worthy successor. Professionals in fields as diverse as child
protection and counter-terrorism will find in its pages much that
is applicable to their work." – Ken Pease, Visiting Professor of
Crime Science, University College London
